The National D-Day Memorial in Bedford is in danger of closing due to financial problems. A bill designed to help is wending its way through Congress:
An effort to save the National D-Day Memorial has made some progress, as the U.S. Senate passed a defense-spending bill that instructs officials to consider making the monument a federal property.
The bill includes language introduced by Sens. Mark Warner and Jim Webb directing the Department of the Interior to study the feasibility of making the financially struggling monument a National Park Service site.
Webb spokeswoman Kimberly Hunter said the legislation passed Thursday is scheduled to go to a conference committee, but she expects the final version of the bill will retain the D-Day Memorial language.
